Abstract
Analysis of the 111 nucleotide sequences of the first subunit of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase gene of Siberian erpobdellids revealed three groups corresponding to distinct morphotypes, that are considered as a part of the E. octoculata. The range of genetic distances of 7–10 % separates the Siberian representatives from phylogenetically close Palaearctic species.
